Southern Sweet Cornbread

Well hi folks, been forever since I've made a post.  So much has happened since then, new great grandchildren, deaths and so much more.  So many life changes in our family, and now this Cornavisus affecting our country.  What's next????

We celebrated Easter this past Wednesday b/c one of my grandsons had to work Easter Sunday, he is a correction officer and the county jail and is just 20 years old he also turned 21 the end April.  Wow where have all the years gone??

I made this cornbread for our dinner, which was a hit.  It was made in a cast iron skillet but you could make it in a cake pan, probably wouldn't have the great bottom crunch but the flavor would still be there. I found this recipe on Pintrest here.  This was very good but I also think it could have been a bit sweeter, so next time I will probably add and additional 1/2 cup sugar.
